Patented Feb. 2 4, 1931 UNITED. STATES noeo J. nosna, or SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH COUNTER Application filed J'anuary'SI, 1930. Serial No. 424,824.

This invention relates to an improvement in a'counter, and more particularly to a lunch or soda fountain counter.

The object of this invention is to provide a. counter having areceptacle in the outer face thereof and placed below the forward projection of the top of-fthe counter, in such a manner that a lady being served at the counter, if she so desires, may place her purse therein or any package she may be carrying, thus abolishing the necessity of holding the purse on her armor placing it on the counter while being served.

7 With this object in view the invention con-V sists of certain-novel features of construction to be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in'whichcon.

responding parts are denoted by like reference characters, is illustrated the preferred form of embodiment of the invention capable of carrying the same into practical use, it being understood that the invention is not necessarily-limited thereto, asvarious eral assemblageof its construction may be resorted to without departing from the principles of the invention, or sacrificing any the receptacle secured to the counter. .Fig. 4 is a view through 44 Fig. 3.

The counter may be constructed with a' tile front'or of anyother material desired.

The lnventlon comprlses a'counter' having to remove a package from a compartment in 0 j front, of another party resting upon a cha r changesln shape and proportionsandgen- 0f the. compartments. of its advantages. and the right 1s therefore reserved for making all changes and modifi- Fig. 3 is a front view of a counter showing 'a front wall A, a back wall B and a top C.

On the front wall A attheupper edge there of is a projection 5 Below the projection 5 and spaced therefrom ishanother projection 6. The projections 5 and 6 extend the full length of the counter.

Placed between saidpro ections 5 and 6 at the end thereof are blocks 7 which form the corner blocks of the counter. Spaced I away from the blocks 7 are other blocks 8,

and spaced away from the blocks 8 are other blocks 9. The blocks are so placed be tween the projection-s 5 and 6 to the fulllength of the counter. .Whenthe blocks are so placed they form the end walls of compartments 14, 15 and 16 which'when so constructc0 ed form individual receptacles into whicha lady 'may place her purse if she so desired. The blocks may be omitted and the projection 6 forming a continuous shelf upon which ackagesmay be placed. The blocks are on preferable as they form partitions between each compartment in such amanner that a} party'resting upon one'chair will not beable v next to him without said party knowing it.

Thech'airs upon which the parties restwhile being served are placed-in alinement of one 1 The design in Figs. 3 and partments 1a attached to a counter by means I of bolts 12. These compartments are only used where a counter is now in use and when the owner. of the COHD DBIWEhBStlIQm placed onto the counter.

The counter is constructed in sections to the J' length desired,and-the-ends are formed by a section ofthe required length.

Having thus describ d theinventionwhat I I claim asrnew anddesireto secure by 'Let- S5 ters Patent, is; V p I V 1. In a counterhaving a front wall a back wall and a top, said front wall having a'projection near the upper edge thereof and an other projection belowfsaid projection and 4 shows come '75 spaced away from said upper projection, blocks placed between said projections, said blocks being spaced apart to form compartments therebetween, said compartments for receiving packages therein.

2. In a counter having a side Wall a back Wall and a top, said front Wall having projections thereon near the upper edge there-r of, said projections being spaced apart and having-blocks therebetween placed in such a manner to form compartments between said projections and said blocks, all substantially as setvforth.
